Ownership
You act like the company is yours — because your part of it is. You don't wait to be told; you see the gap and close it.

01 — Why HYV
Most careers pages sell benefits. We'll sell you the work.
If you're the kind of person who's happiest when the outcome is yours to own, read this carefully. This is the argument for joining — not the perks, the actual reasons.
A
10×
The surface area of a much larger company
A team this small means every person touches product, brand, and customer. You won't be handed a lane — you'll help draw the map. Scope that would take a decade to reach elsewhere is available on day one.
B
Direct line to the founders
No middle management to translate your ideas into mush. You'll pitch, decide, and ship in the same room as the people who started the company.
C
Zero bureaucracy
No approval chains. No status theatre. If it's right for the customer, build it.
D
Learn across every function
Sit next to supply chain, design, growth and code. Generalists compound fast here.
E
Ship products used by millions — with global ambitions
We're not building a bottle company. We're building the Nike + Stanley + WHOOP of India, then taking it to the world. What you make will sit on desks, in gyms, and in bags across the country — and eventually well beyond it.
02 — What we value
Eight traits we hire for, and refuse to compromise on.
These aren't posters on a wall. They're the actual filter every candidate — and every decision — runs through.
Taste
You have a point of view on what's good, and the conviction to hold the line when others would settle.
Speed
You'd rather ship, learn and iterate than polish in private. Velocity is a feature, not a compromise.
Curiosity
You go one layer deeper than the brief. You read the manufacturing doc and the customer review both.
Bias for Action
When it's reversible, you move. You default to doing, and you make the call rather than escalating it.
Craft
You sweat the seam, the kerning, the unboxing. The details nobody asked about are the ones people remember.
Customer Obsession
You start from the person holding the bottle, not the spreadsheet. Their delight is the only real KPI.
Long-term Thinking
You build for the brand we'll be in ten years, not the quarter. Reputation compounds; so do shortcuts.
03 — Life at HYV
No stock photos. No fake smiles. This is the real texture of the work.
A look at how we actually work — design reviews, factory floors, launch nights, dawn workouts. Real texture, not stock imagery.
04 — Open roles
Find where you'll do the best work of your life.
Search, filter, and open any role for the full brief — mission, first 90 days, and exactly what success looks like.

05 — Teams
Twenty-plus disciplines. One standard.
We hire across the whole company. Don't see your exact title? The open application is for you.
06 — Talent philosophy
We hire slowly, fire rarely, and protect talent density like it's the whole company. Because it is.
One exceptional person will out-build five good ones and leave the team sharper for it. So we take our time, and we say no often — including to strong people who simply aren't the fit.
We optimise for builders — people who close the loop from idea to shipped, and who'd rather own a hard problem than manage an easy one.
We reward ownership, not hours or politics. There are no points for looking busy and no ceiling for people who move the company forward.
What you won't find here: bureaucracy, status games, or a culture that mistakes meetings for progress. What you will find: high standards, fast feedback, and colleagues who make you better.
07 — Hiring process
Transparent, fast, and respectful of your time.
Six steps, roughly two to three weeks end-to-end. You'll always know where you stand.
Step 1
Application
You apply here. A human reads it — no keyword bots screening you out.
Step 2
Initial Review
We respond within 5 working days, either way. Clarity over silence, always.
Step 3
Intro Call
A 30-minute conversation about your work, your ambitions, and the role.
Step 4
Work Sample
A short, paid, real problem — the kind you'd actually solve here. No trick puzzles.
Step 5
Founder Conversation
You'll meet a founder. Two-way: your questions matter as much as ours.
Step 6
Offer
A clear offer, fast. Ownership, comp, and a first 90 days you'll be proud of.
08 — The real perks
The essentials, done properly — not ping-pong tables.
We spend where it compounds: on your growth, your tools, and your wellbeing.
01
Learning budget
An annual stipend for courses, coaches, and anything that makes you sharper.
02
Conference attendance
We send you to the rooms where your field is being defined.
03
Latest hardware
Top-spec machine of your choice, day one. Your tools should never be the bottleneck.
04
Flexible work
Own your calendar. We measure output, not attendance.
05
Performance bonuses
When the company wins because of you, you share in it — clearly and generously.
06
Employee product discounts
Every HYV product, at cost. Live with what you build.
07
Wellness allowance
A monthly budget for whatever keeps you well — therapy, nutrition, recovery.
08
Gym support
We cover your membership. We're a wellness brand; we mean it.
09
Books, always
Any book, any time, no questions. Reading is a job requirement, not a hobby.
10
AI subscriptions
Every tool that makes you faster — Claude, and the rest — fully expensed.
09 — Questions
Everything you'd ask before applying.
Do you support remote work?
Yes — many roles are remote or hybrid within India, and each listing states its mode clearly. Some roles (industrial design, operations, warehouse) are on-site in Delhi NCR because the work genuinely needs to be.
Do you offer internships?
We do, across design, content, growth and operations. They're real projects with real ownership — not coffee runs — and strong interns are often offered full-time roles.
What's your typical hiring timeline?
Two to three weeks from application to offer for most roles. We move fast on purpose and keep you informed at every step.
I'm a fresher — should I apply?
Absolutely, if you've built things. We care about evidence of ownership and taste far more than years of experience. Show us projects, side-hustles, or anything you shipped.
Can international applicants apply?
For most roles we hire people who can legally work in India. If you're exceptional and open to relocating, tell us in your application and we'll talk.
Do you handle work authorization / visas?
We currently don't sponsor visas. You should have the right to work in India, or a concrete plan to relocate, before applying.
What are notice periods like on your side?
We make offers quickly and are happy to plan around your current notice period. We'd rather you leave your current role well than burn a bridge.
How can I check my application status?
You'll get a reference ID when you apply. Email careers@livehyv.com with it any time and a human will tell you exactly where things stand.
10 — Apply
Don't see your role? Introduce yourself anyway.
Some of the best people we'll ever hire don't fit a job post the day they find us. Tell us what you're great at and what you want to build. We read every submission.
Elevate every day
The bottle was just the beginning.
If you want to help build a brand India is proud of — and the world takes seriously — this is your moment.
